Begin The Begin Lyrics

Cover art for Begin The Begin lyrics by R.E.M.

This wonderful song's message is about subversive insurrection. Using Myles Standish as a reference point is also its telltale give away. Stipe the insurgent was always at his best when rebelling against the status quo, and with this missive he aimed his target well and good. Songs such as Green Grow The Rushes and Ignoreland emphasise the exact and complex point as this tune. And what a glorious tune it remains from the era when REM were still underground superstars, spilling the news of good for the worthwhile to pick up and plant in the Elysian fields.
